sunday night, i got a ticket up in Brea, Ca. The ticket was for:
-making an unsafe turn
-modified lighting
-liscense not in possession.


is the making an unsafe turn a point on my record?

 

I believe it is a point because it's a moving violation.

 

Modified lighting is not a crime....

here is the CA vehicle code:

Division 12, chapter 2 is what you want.

Here's the thing though.....

Your blue road lamp is illegal though.
Section 25950-25952 says that...

"The emitted light from all lamps and the reflected light from
all reflectors, visible from in front of a vehicle, shall be white or
yellow, except as follows:"

Of course if u read..... "EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS" is explained in further detail. (i.e rear turn signals)

Front headlights have to be a White or Yellow.

 

So does that mean I can have BLUE turn signals in the rear?

 

Checkout traffic school on CD-ROM if the court will let you. You pay the fine, but NO points!

Read and you shall learn.

Again, Section 12, Chapter 2, Article 12, code #24953

In short, front blinkers can be yellow OR white (YES white) and the rear HAS to be yellow or red.

No Blue

 

tell them its SUPER WHITE!

 

Yea, the U-Turn will get you a point. That was what I was nailed for with my one and only moving violation ticket. Take 20 minutes of online traffic school and get that sucker written off.

 

Sorry pal, no online traffice school is accepted in Orange County --- yet.

 

...and you cannot do online traffic school in twenty minutes either.

There is a set amount of time specified by the court of so many hours (I think 4 or 6) of traffic school you must 'attend'. I know because my wife did the online traffic school a few years ago. She was going through the online text and question/answers too fast and got a warning that if she didn't slooooowww down she wouldn't get credit.

She slowed down by doing a few pages, walking away from the computer for 20 minutes, then doing a few more...and so on.

Her violation was in LA County for a 'rolling' stop through a sign at a parking lot where she worked. This is the one and only violation she has ever had in 20 years of driving.

She called the cop a 'fucker' to his face. I don't think that I'd even have the balls to do that! She was really pissed off - parking lot stop sign rolled when no one was around (night, no one there except wife and cop) and cop was hiding (eating donut) behind bush or something.

I guess that the cop realized that he really was a 'fucker'. He didn't arrest her - he just handed her the citation and let her go.

 

The front blinker bulb color can be blue as long as it emits a white light when iluminated.

 

Yes, it is a point...now play catch up...I'm at 3 within 3 months..., I got this nifty letter from the DMV talking about suspended license for being a negligent driver....

 

when i went to court the fucken judge told me that if i fight the ticket and with the cops testimony i could face a restricted of suspended licence. stupid bitch. i'm gonna buy drugs so terrorists can kill you. so anyway, i pleaded no contest; which she said she considers it guilty, and i'm going to traffic school

 

Mike, I wasn't sure if his sig denoted blue as in "blue colored but white lighted bulbs" or what dustin has "blue, but blue lighted bulbs." the latter case is what I was refering to as illegal.


Slimey.... what or where did ur friend use for the online traffic school? I pretty much went through it in an hour, no warnings that I was going too fast either....

 

I got to SJSU and you want me to read?! Riiiight, wundiful edmukation write dare. So blue it is then...i mean hyperwhitel.

 

Hmm, that's screwy.

I got my ticket in San Diego and whatever site I went to, I took the test in 20 minutes. But this was about 2 years ago.

 

Hmmm...what I said is true though. She had to slow down and make the 'class' last half a day. That was about 4 or 5 years ago in LA County...back in the days of 33Kbs dialup!
